Chapter 63: The Couple Who Read
Chapter 63
At this moment in the camera lens, Shen Shuyao saw sweat streaming down the pale cheeks of the woman. She took the small pack of tissue paper out of her pocket and walked over silently to help wipe off her sweat.
"Is it too hot? There's a small fan in the room. Let me get it to blow on you, okay?" Shen Shuyao gently asked.
Ji Nian smiled and shook her head, answering, "No need to go through all that trouble. Are you hot? Do you want to go inside and get some air conditioning first? I'll get this ready."
Shen Shuyao also had some fine sweat on her forehead. She shook her head and said, "Not hot. I'll wait for you."
Seeing this scene, the online viewers immediately started leaving comments.
"Ahhhhhhh I can't take this anymore!"
"Just get married on the spot!"
"Wahhh our Shuyao is so considerate."
"Because of Shen Shuyao, I've become a fan of Ji Nian."
When the dishes came out on the table, a round of close-up shots made those watching the variety show at night start salivating.
"That's making me really hungry."
"Quietly opening a food delivery app."
"Doesn't look like it, but the food is quite appetizing."
Ji Nian herself didn't know what people thought about tonight's episode of the reality show.
Because at that moment, she was painfully acting in front of the mirror, with a miserable look on her face as she stared at the script in her hand.
She finally understood the suffering of actors. Turns out acting really requires talent. After a whole night of acting opposite her reflection in the mirror, she finally felt like she had made a tiny bit of progress. At least she felt much better than before.
Online, the reality show became hot again, ranking #1 on Weibo's trending chart. The title was also quite interesting - Nian Book CP, Nian Book Couple. There were also compilation videos made by true love fans of their various interactions.
Some netizens who hadn't watched the show clicked on the trending topic and saw the elegant beauty Ji Nian and the innocent cutie Shen Shuyao.
Plus there was some height difference between them which made the edited footage look amazing - helping polish shoes, taking care of each other on the show, the vow to dedicate herself. It made many people unable to help smiling.
The scene of them riding a tandem bicycle was both funny and exhilarating. That "old driver" line made netizens call out "Awesome!" while Ji Nian looked every inch an old geezer, not caring about her image at all.
In the video, Ji Nian interrupted the female lead and earnestly said, "Look at you, just a little thing, and this frame is so heavy. Plus I'm stronger, this frame is made of bamboo, what if the tips hurt you? Be good and just wait next to me."
Ji Nian gave a reassuring look and jokingly said, "I'm responsible for making money to support the family. You're responsible for being as beautiful as a flower."
Later in the video when they were gathered for a meal after completing the task, there was also a scene of Ji Nian peeling shrimp for Shen Shuyao. The background music was especially sweet. After watching, netizens commented below the Weibo post.
"These two won't end well if they don't get married."
"I'm unilaterally locking this couple down, I swallowed the key."
"Nian Book true love fan."
"Too obsessed!"
"Another weird CP added."
"Sisters, I'm a bit crazy over them."
But at that moment, the trending topic was pushed up by the mysterious person's title again. In the video, the woman candidly talked about the mysterious composer being her friend, and she didn't even charge for the songs.
Just one song "Flying Bugs" directly brought the highest popularity ever to the reality show episode.
At this time, a famous composer Lin Xi also commented below, bringing the topic to an even higher level of popularity.
"Mysterious, first-class in composing and lyrics, and the musical style is not consistent - (guest), (arrogant), (ordinary road), (flying bugs), and (dream wedding), each song can give people surprise. If I get a chance, I hope I can meet this person one day."
"Oh my god, even the famous composer Lin Xi came to comment!"
"Ji Nian must have burned a lot of incense to meet a friend like Mysterious."
"Do you guys think Cheng Liran would know Mysterious?"
"Adding on, since Ji Nian is his ex-girlfriend, Cheng Liran must know Mysterious."
"So far, Mysterious has only given songs to Ji Nian alone."
"I have a bold guess, could Mysterious like Ji Nian?"
"Go away, Ji Nian belongs to Shen Shuyao. Don't break up the Nian Book couple!"
At that moment, far away Cheng Liran received several calls from others in the industry. He looked at the trending content and smiled wryly.
Even Eighth Older Brother was confused on the side and asked, "Liran, you spent a lot of time with Ji Nian. She really didn't mention this Mysterious person to you?"
Cheng Liran helplessly said, "We were contractual lovers, how would I know about her private life?"
Tonight several people called to ask who the mysterious composer was and if he could help introduce them. He was truly confused.
On this end, the higher ups of Huayu Company also urgently held a late night meeting. Everyone knew Ji Nian was a newly signed artist of the company, and although she had some fame before, no one expected her to explode in popularity overnight.
Even the famous composer Lin Xi praised her, so the company executives mainly wanted Ji Nian to reveal information about Mysterious to see if they could sign Mysterious too.
On He Yi's end, not only did he receive a notification from the higher ups late at night, he also received invitations from various show producers, mostly variety shows, singing shows, and talent competitions.
Shen Shuyao was filming a night scene and saw the person next to her staring with shocked eyes. She asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"Damn!" He Yi opened the trending page and couldn't help but cry out, "Ji Nian is trending!"
Shen Shuyao blinked her innocent big eyes in bewilderment. "Hmm?"
"Look, the second half of your show directly exploded. The viewership and popularity are both #1!" He Yi excitedly passed his phone over and said, "Nian's 'Flying Bugs' is trending. There's even a comment from Lin Xi below. Awesome!"
Shen Shuyao laughed when she saw the fans' comments about Nian Book CP. She said, "Nian is great, it's only right that she's trending."
He Yi knew they were good friends and said with a laugh, "Your fans have gone to follow Ji Nian too. I've never seen such obsessive shipping between two women online before."
Shen Shuyao also helplessly shook her head and said, "I didn't expect it either. Nian and I were actually called the Nian Book couple."
"Can't lie, Nian Book is a pretty interesting name, hahaha." He Yi laughed out loud.
Meanwhile, Ji Nian here was completely oblivious to her online popularity. After puzzling over the acting for a whole night, she had already lifelessly collapsed in bed.
Even before falling asleep, her mind was full of various lines and all the plot lines from the script. She restlessly flipped over and soon fell into a deep sleep.
